Last Sunday Charlie Belz, his wife
and Mrs. Conrad went down to Bee
town, and while there very unfort-
innate accident occurred. The facts as
we have learned them are as follows
The parties named with Mrs. Jack, of
Beetown, were out riding, and Mr.. Belz
got out to open a gate in order to pass
through, and while he was out, the
team started. Belz sprang forward
and attempted to get into the buggy,
but his foot caught in the spring, and
the front wheel ground and tore into
| his leg, cutting the flesh to the bone
making horrible wound several inches
long. His body was also badly bruised
from being dragged some distance.
Mrs Bell succeeded in stopping the
team after they had gone about fifty
yards. Mrs. Conrad jumped or was
thrown from the buggy. Both bones
of her left leg We're crushed about one
and one half inches above the ankle.

and have been fortunately observed in

railroad property. Such wanton and
reckless proceedings are entitled TO

hanging would be too good for such
deSperadoes.
Notwithstanding the severe drouth
of the present season, the condition of
| farmers in this neighborhood is fifty
per cent. better than last year. The
corn crop is the best for four years;
oats are fair; wheat good and potatoes
abundant. The last crop will help
many farmer out of tight place.
